The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (ENGLISH)

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (Howard Shore). Due that both standard and special editions are published in a sufficient length to need 2 discs, it seems to be slightly understandable the simultaneous commercialization of both editions. It had been more logical that the standard edition was adjusted to the habitual canons of edition of soundtracks, bringing together on a simple disc edition with among 17 and 20 tracks, with a duration less than 80 minutes that marks the limit of the physical format of the compact disc. This edition might be indicated for the occasional fan that should like the movie and should want to review its music.

And with this standard edition it would have felt the simultaneous release of the special edition, with all the music of the movie, destined so much to the fan of the film music, which does not get tired of listening to it even having a high footage, as to the fan of the Tolkien's universe, who, undoubtedly, will enjoy even the last one of its notes.

For it, it does not seem to be logical that both editions look alike so much, and neither understands who will prefer buying the normal edition opposite to the special edition, more when the prices do not differ in excess.

And since a special edition is released, it turns out paradoxical that the art of the album of the above mentioned edition is much more sober than the standard edition, when, if it is so special as to give it this name, the art, at least, should surprise us.
